Pokemon Black

Pokemon is known for its super-rare, hard to catch legendary creatures, and in a tradition that started way back with Mew in Pokemon Red & Blue, Nintendo is offering legendary Pokemon as timed downloads only. Next up is Meloetta in March.

There may have been a week-long delay between the announcement of the US and European release dates for Pokémon Black & White, but the shoe is on the other foot now. Nintendo have reportedly announced that the latest instalment of the obsessive-compulsive animal training sim will arrive in Europe two days before the US sees a hair of it.

Are you ready for more Pokemon? No? Yeah, neither are we, honestly. But Nintendo’s not a company to be constrained by the petty laws of supply and demand, so empty your pockets, because more monsters are coming your way
